[QUOTE="MTHunt, post: 1138355, member: 93040"] Hey all. Am new here in terms of posting been reading for quite awhile and finally decided to sign up.. Am trying to wade through all the info and decide on a long range caliber/rifle.. I am not aiming for 1000 yards right off the bat. Want to work up to it though.. Will try that far on steel for a long while before I attempt an animal at that range. Hunting range I am thinking is 600-700 to start on coyotes to practice and work up in critter size.. Hunt mostly coyotes, antelope, deer and occasionally elk, occasionally is the key word. I want to start out on a bit more of a budget for a rifle. I don't want to go custom just yet not till proficiency at longer ranges gets better.. At least thats my plan as of right now. Now for the big questions lol. Been looking at the Savage Long Range Hunter, Browning x-bolt LRH, Remington 700 Sendero II, have found a couple used ones lately, or the Nosler Patriot, nice feeling gun for sure.. Calibers I have been looking at 6.5x284, 26 Nosler, or 7mm Rem Mag. maybe a 300wsm but like the 6.5 and 7mm higher BC bullets. Maybe for the range I am looking to start at I am over thinking things but good clean kills are important. I don't think I could go wrong really with any of them so maybeI just need to actually make a decision and go with it... [/QUOTE]
